Why don't you....as a developer, figure out a way to make Reive EXCITING, WORTH WILE and ADDICTIVE. You see this old musty content, aka Abyssea..... why don't you learn a thing or three from it. Change it so that SoA is for lvl 75-99. Please be smart, lowering the entry level will means more people see A REASON to buy and play the new expansion. Stop with the retarded LVL 99 only....
Make it so that Reive is an alternative way to get xp and bayld from lvl 75-99. Learn from Campaign!!! The mob pop super fast, which is amazing. Make them easier to kill - and all get 200-400 xp per kill. Throw random golden glow mobs that will give you 1000 xp - 1k bayld if you kill them, make it a bit higher level as well, 103 or something.
This way people can get a level doing this, cap it so that xp is 40k ish with 6-8k bayld cap at 30 mnts per reive. And you must do something to be eligible. Grant auto reraise. And temp items random every 5 mnts, say 2 random temp items that stacks till you use them.
ADD a GOV/Dominion Page version in ALL those NPCs colonization in the jungle. This way people have REASONS to kill 5 mobs for auto repeat xp and bayld. And more people will see reasons to GROUP, Duo or Trio. New areas will actually be a good alternative to EXP outside Abyssea.
Let us skill ups FASTER, in the 0.3-0.5 digit when under ionis effect and doing reive. This way more people will do this. And for god sake, stop thinking we are dumb. We can see what you are trying to do. We gladly pay and play more if the content is actually fun and we are getting something worth wasting our time whacking more roots.
